However, the concept of months and time periods can be found in Greek entries such as G3376 (mēn - month).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Adar is the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to February-March in the Gregorian calendar. It is a month of joy and celebration, primarily due to the festival of Purim, which commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people as recorded in the Book of Esther.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish tradition, Adar is considered a month of happiness and good fortune. The Talmud states, "When Adar enters, joy increases" (Taanit 29a). This is largely due to the celebration of Purim, which occurs on the 14th of Adar. Historically, Adar was a time when the Jewish people experienced significant deliverance from their enemies, as recounted in the account of Esther. The month is also associated with the collection of the half-shekel for the maintenance of the Temple, as mentioned in Exodus 30:13-16.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the twelfth month in the Jewish calendar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Adar (8).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲדָר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>12th</b></font> (Babylonian) month = Feb.-Mar.
